How can a machine learn about the world? In some ways computers are like very young babies, always soaking up new examples and trying to put what they sense into different buckets 鈥� dog, cat, familiar face, stranger.

In this two-part tutorial, you will learn about a type of artificial intelligence (AI) called machine learning (ML), exploring an example called 鈥渋mage classification鈥� 鈥� a way for computers to put what they see into various buckets. You will make a 鈥淧eekaboo鈥� game with your very own Personal Image Classification (PIC) model. A baby shown in the app will smile when you show your face and cry when you hide your face.
